Has anyone ever been the victim of bad rumors at work? I just heard bad stuff we're being said about me behind my back by vicious and jealous co-workers. This thing had been going on for quite a while and noone ever told me or even took my defense.

It puts me in a very difficult situation as my boss heard about it. She thinks I'm not a good "team-player" so it's ruining my reputation and my chances of moving to an even better position.

I basically spent 2 days crying non-stop. I just moved in this new town and since my social life is not that crazy yet, i was investing a lot in my work.

The thing is, I love my work and I was trying to do it well and then this gossiping is just ruining everything by making me look like I'm some kind of mean bitch.

I guess I just need some comfort and maybe some people to tell me they went through the same problems, thanks! -sad lila

thanks for the support, that feels really good. I went through a hard time and almost thought of quitting (which would be stupid because I really need the money and i don't want my co-workers to think that they win by making me quit). Anyway, I'm on holiday now so it will give me some time to take a little distance and think about what to do. Thankfully my boss didn't write anything on my performance review report. She said she "wanted to give me a chance", which sounds pretty ironic to me as I feel my co-workers didn't give me a chance at all and I don't know how long the stigma of this rumors will follow me... Again thanks for the support, -Lila
